The way comments are serialized for use in Review UIs and the diff
viewer is extremely messy. This change is the first step of cleaning
that up.

When I first converted the comment models to TypeScript, I mistakenly
marked the comment editor and comment dialog view's publishedComments
as being BaseComment[]. These are in fact the serialized comment data
arrays. This change moves the definition of the serialized comment
interface out of abstractCommentBlockModel.ts into its own file, where
we can import it anywhere we need, and makes use of that definition
where appropriate.

Ran js-tests.

    Just to throw out the question here, do we want to alphabetize by imported name, or group type separately from non-type within the list? I kind of like the idea of keeping them in separate groups within the same import list, so it's very clear where things go and each grouping can be sorted independently.

    1. We can group them. I'll update /r/13713/ to do that everywhere.
